Too much personality for my taste... or rather... too much injected opinion.. As a piano player who started actually.. playing piano 2 years ago, I still feel like a noob And comments such as: "This is actually very easy to learn" is .. in my opinion.. a bit downtalking You could say... it's enabling imposter syndrome When you think that you're never good enough despite actual great results... that means you suffer from imposter syndrome And saying: "This is very very easy to learn!" is actually telling someone: Your progress is minimal, your efforts are for nothing and you learn slower than avergae people This is my opinion... so don't try to tell me the exact opposite... especially because I'm probably never going to revisit this video

[@rebeldiva611]

@@nomasan Um... The people saying that don’t mean it as an insult most of the time. They’re only saying it’s easy now because it was hard for them long ago as well, and there’s nothing wrong with that. When somebody says “This is so easy” maybe you shouldn’t take it as a personal attack but rather as motivation to get to that point too, where you can proudly say “This is so easy”

River flows in you has a special place in my heart, everytime I'd come back to my parents' home in the east of the Netherlands from my student apartment in Delft, I'd have a 30 minute layover, and every time I'd sit down in the evening cold someone would be on the station piano playing River flows in you. It became a song of home to me.

[@NeonParadox245]

[@LostJedi26]

"River Flows in You" is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. I want to learn it so bad! I'm blind and play by ear or with someone telling/showing me how to play x number of measures at a time so I can add onto what I know. It's fun, but it takes a special teacher willing to work with me. Wish I could use online resources. I think I want to find a local teacher to see if I can pick up lessons again...except I don't want to just do classical pieces, which are beautiful too. There's so, so much music out there wanting to be played...and played...and played.

[@HDpiano]

[@DrTranofEvil]

@Gísiu Wulf I haven’t played an instrument since high school (and I was an apathetic student in my early years). My teacher told me it’s take about two years for a fresh beginner. I’m a fairly bright individual (and I have a stack of laurels to back that), but this has been an education. It took less time to learn statistics than music theory (and I’m still learning). As I’ve been studying for six months, I can say that two years in not an unrealistic timeline for a middle-aged dude (laden with other responsibilities) with almost no previous experience. Learning the piano takes awhile. Patience and practice are definitely virtues and much like martial arts, you have classes you feel you’re the baddest of asses and classes where you wonder why your instructor hasn’t given up on you and how such a simply thing could screw you up so much.

Oh my god. We had a piano room in school. It was right next to the animation class room. I had animation class 2 times a week. And every, yes, EVERY time someone would play river flows in you and I was forced to listen to river flows in you through the wall several times the day, twice a week, for 2 years. I could not properly explain my hatred for this song without throwing around several obscenities.

Give him Satie's Gnossiennes and Gymnopedies. There are some easy ones in there, it's different, and you can't play it for too long until the sadness in the music gets to you.

Try first something easier like HBD or GYMNOPEDIE or PINK PANTHER "opening to get used to" then start play different pieces like fur Elise

I dunno how many times I have sat down with someone and we had a good time playing that song and with people who don't even play any music and kids who are learning, I just show them the notes real quick and we rock it out and I embellish the progression a bit. So if he hates heart and soul, you know what does that say about him...I am not saying it's saying that, but what would people think it is saying about him if he hates heart and soul..you know..That he has no heart or soul.
